Fun and Games!

Here in Michigan, we've had an unseasonably warm January (though tonight it is snowing -- the lovely kind that kisses the bushes and sticks close to the branches of the trees and withered plants. Tomorrow will be lovely and white!)

Nonetheless, the past few weeks have reminded me of summer and the lake. And there's nothing like a small-town traveling carnival for an overdose of pink! So this Pink Saturday, join me for a walk down the runway! Get your magic ticket here!

We'll stop for a lemonade.

Enjoy a snack or two.

Check out one of the games.

Maybe win a prize or two!

And hit the rides!

Let's wrap up the day with another snack!

I don't know about you but I rarely do anything at one of these carnivals but take pictures -- but I'm sure looking forward to the day when the weather is nice enough for the carnival to come to town, when I can hear that carousel music, smell the greasy food and feel the sun wrap itself around me.

It'll happen. It will!

Good morning, J! Loved seeing all this pink and the carnival on this very white snowy blustery morning. (I see the neighborhood Siamese is stalking our bird feeders. Sigh)

What a lovely cheery tour to kick off my morning.

I have a lot of "back" reading to do here but wanted to say hello and see how you've decorated here now that Xmas is past. Always love seeing your backgrounds and design. And now, over to Chopsticks for a look at your 2011 list! more later!!!!

GREAT Pics of The PINK Carnival....! It has been Centuries since I was at a Carnival---These pictures remind me of the movie "BIG"....lol!

I cannot remember if I told you that back in the late 1960's my cat "BABY gave birth to five kittens, and my dear Betty G. and her sweet husband Larry took two of them....MARMELADE and BIBSY....There is nothing like an Orange Male Cat with Six Toes on each paw....DO take Video of your dear one---you will be SOOO happy you did, down the road....!

About Gypsy!

The Marmelade Gypsy was a big orange cat who happened into my life when he was abandoned long ago and took up residence in the window well. Within a few months, he had moved inside the house and took up residence inside my heart (and on the couch, in the window, on the bed...) He was one sweet boy, the ultimate cat who served as pet therapist, executive assistant and secret keeper. He will always hold a huge spot in my heart. Goodbye, Mr. Gyps.

Lizzie Cosette

Lizzie Cosette may be neither marmelade nor a gypsy, but she is indeed a "Marmee," as the March sisters in "Little Women" referred to their mother. Found in an abandoned garage with three kittens, she was fostered until she found a new home and human to love her.

Happy Together!
